January 28-February 2, 2018

And indeed it is!

The week's celebration is already underway! Our Liturgy this morning was a beautiful sight. Many, many thanks to all those who shared in the day. Our fourth graders were VERY well represented in the choir, and their singing was nothing short of glorious! In addition, our annual Open House brought many visitors, and the Book Faire is off to a great start, as well. SO...let the good times roll as we celebrate who we are as St. Joseph Catholic School!

A few notes and reminders:

Students who came to Mass on Sunday in their uniforms have earned "Free Dress" on Monday, January 29. (Uniforms required the rest of the week.)

Friday, February 2, is Grandparents' Day! We hope to see many of our grandparents and other "Special Persons" at Mass on Friday. Then all are invited to come to our "Town Hall" for refreshments and entertainment by our classes. Please remember that Friday is a 12:00 dismissal day, with NO Extended Care.

Don't forget that the Book Faire will be open all week.... thanks to Mrs. Carlson and her crew of volunteers!

And last but not least: Fourth Grade Mission Projects all arrived on schedule last Friday...and what a sight to behold! Lots of energy and effort went into them...thanks for YOUR efforts in guiding them through the process!

Proudly Presenting our SuperKids:
